Transcript of Welcome to KidsPoint

our Mission at kidspoint is that we desire to be place that we will teach children about the love of Christ, but is also a place that supports parents as they raise their children to learn about the love of Christ. We desire to be a ministry that lives out Deut 6:4-9. We want to train children up to be strong and sturdy followers of God by using interactive Bible Stories, worship, and a little bit of fun.Thank you!What ministries are offered at Kidspont?At KidsPoint Ministries we take the task of taking care of our little ones very seriously. We make sure that we have the best teachers in our rooms each week that will give our little ones an abundance of love. They will also teach each and every one of them how special they are to God and how much God loves them. We offer a number of age appropriate areas for your little ones.

Basecamp: Nursery (birth-2) Lodge: Preschool (3-5)Summit: Kindergarten-5th grade summitsummit is where our K-5th graders all come to play, sing, learn, and grow. This is a high energy, engaging environment that challenges kids to be followers of god in their schools, homes, and neighborhoods. we love giving our kids an opportunity to serve as well. We have technology teams and worship teams that are trained and taught to serve on Sunday and Wednesday nights Sunday mornings we focus on more of the "How" of Christianity by teaching a single spiritual virtue each month like forgiveness, creativity, friendship, or patience.Wednesday nights we focus more on the "Why" and "what" of Christianity by teaching the basic things like prayer, worship, communion, and baptism. basecampOur nursery is split up into 4 sections:the Ladybugs: they are our newest members at GracePoint and is for newborns--not yet crawling. the Caterpillars:They are our babies who are crawling, scooting, and shuffling all over the place. the Grasshoppers: they are our babies who have learned to walk. They have the freedom to walk, run, and play in their new room. the Bumblebees: They are our two years olds who are growing and developing their social and motor skills and who are getting ready to move up to our preschool rooms!lodgesIn our preschool ministry the kids start to sing songs, learn Bible stories, and interact with each other much more. Each Sunday is filled with something new and exciting to help them learn something new about God and themselves.Our preschool ministry has 3 separate rooms:The Explorers: This room is for our 3 year old kids who are brand new members of the lodges. The Adventures: This room is for our 4 year old kids.the climbers: this room is made up of our 5 year old kids, who are gearing up to be apart of the Summit!this is our staffJessey joined the staff of GracePoint as the Children's Pastor in October 2013.
